Q. Find all solutions with −90∘<θ<90∘. Give the exact answer(s) in simplest form. If there are multiple answers, separate them with commas.tan(θ)=−1____∘
Identify Tangent Relationship: Since tan(θ)=cos(θ)sin(θ), we're looking for angles where the sine and cosine have the same absolute value but opposite signs.
Determine Angle for Tangent=−1: The tangent of an angle is −1 when the angle is 45° below the x-axis in the fourth quadrant or 45° above the x-axis in the second quadrant.
Calculate Angle in Second Quadrant: In the second quadrant, the angle is 180°−45°, which is 135°. But this is outside our range of -90° < \theta < 90°.
Calculate Angle in Fourth Quadrant: In the fourth quadrant, the angle is −45∘, which is within our range.
Final Solution: So the only solution within the given range is θ=−45∘.
